Whatever dude. Still seems like a snake move for this guy to try and sell these things, especially when they are "pick up only". Does he really think there are 8 pinsiders near him that are seeking empty boxes for shipping. Doubt it. I just know that if a pinsider or pin lover near me needed a box, they would get it for nothing.
Bought four pins myself this year, two NIB. This is very bad advertising in my opinion. Would be the last place I would call for a quote on a pin based on trying to hawk used cardboard on pinside. Bet Game Doc didn't try and do that move.

LOL!

If someone wants one they'll buy it. I don't know these guys and I live 3,000 miles away. I don't need them. Just trying to shed some insight on why they have value to some people.

Yes you do. But since it's an XMen LE box, it's probably only worth $30 now.

Lol! After playing for a bit now I really love this game and hope you can find one to replace it with one you like equally as well. Forgot to thank you for a great transaction! Thanks again! And if you ever get over my way be sure and call ahead so we can play some pins!

Whaaaaat? How is it a snake move to sell something? If you don't need it move on. There are more than 8 pinsiders in the NYC area and I bought pins from Kevin, he is good people. CPR sells boxes why not rip on them Ralph Nader. He has rent and is doing his thing. Call game doc and keep buying all those pins.

When I opened my NIB BK I was offered 250 bucks for the box.
If I was close to this guy and needed to ship a Stern game I would buy a box from him, a lot cheaper than building a crate.
I would of course lowball him because of the fade.

i would say most guys from jersey would not give a rats ass if kevin is selling these things. we dont want it we dont buy it. simple stuff really. and i would by from kevin in a heartbeat. he has a very good reputation around here. doubt many will look at this in any light , never mind a bad one.

But seriously... Last year I contacted Martin-Logan to see what it would cost to buy a new box and foam inserts for my Stage center channel speaker. It is about one-fourth the size of a pinball box, at most. They wanted something like a hundred bucks for it. No thanks.

I love when you read a sales flyer for something like a smartphone case for like $10 and in small print it says "Smartphone not included"
Gee, I thought the Stern box came with a machine for $40.
Rip off!

Yeah if I was getting ready to ship a pin or move a nicely restored one and I lived close to him I would consider it. $40 beats dumpster diving for cardboard all over town. Luckily I have friends around me that go through a lot of new games and are more than willing to just hand the boxes over!

I bought my METLE from Kevin -- stand up guy and I would not hesitate to purchase from him again. He asked if I wanted the box before delivering, setting up and installing 1.22 at no charge. I hope he gets the $40 for my box to offset what he could have charged to deliver and setup. Nothing wrong with being opportunistic here IMO.
